Room was clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed, modern air con and shower. Shower was hot in the afternoon but cold in the early morning. Pool was refreshing. Good restaurants very close by and convenience stores. Staff were very friendly, especially the lady who was on night shift and waited with me for my airport transfer at 4am. Recommend seeking assistance from reception to book transfer to airport as you will probably get far better price and service than I did booking it myself.

Overall, a beautiful, quaint motel with a colonial style lobby. It's more like a motel than a hotel. Rooms were clean and had the basics I needed so it sufficed for my needs. Kitchen was open and accessible to anyone if you needed it. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Cable/TV channels were VERY limited, but makes for a great excuse to get outdoors which is where the real beauty is anyway. There were no sidewalks if you try to walk from the motel to anywhere nearby but its safe enough on the side of the street, just stay clear of traffic and not at night time. Taxi transportation was nearby and service was quick. The Outrigger was close enough to the town area to find some great things to do and places to eat. My only disappointment was that there was no hot water in our room. We had hot water only on our first day there then I guess they turn it off at some point. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast could be better as portions are way too small and I really like to dish my own food. I give it 5 stars for customer service, cleanliness and convenience!

The receptionist was very welcoming. The room was basic, had air conditioning. Breakfast was included. They had a pool. I didn’t like that they didn’t clean the rooms every day, no shampoo. They didn’t always have the cushions out in the pool area which made it uncomfortable to sit there. When asking the staff for advice regarding lunch options, they couldn’t help us.

Unfortunately I didnt book a room with aircon so we literally slept with the fan on top of us. The shower floor upstairs was a bit unstable - I hope its safe. But overall Im so glad we were there, its unique and bungalow type, the staff were amazing and I cant wait to go back.

lovely property right in the main town. Great spot if you need to stopover before the airport. Well maintained, lovely staff who were so helpful to me when I showed up in Samoa with very little planned, good price. Only thing I would note is I stayed in a fale which was very comfortable but I made the rookie mistake of not bringing bug spray and despite the mosquito net, got bit quite a bit (mosquitos love me). Be mindful of having bug spray if you're staying in the outdoor accommodation.

Stayed 3 nights in a fale on arrival in Samoa, unfortunately during a heatwave that had the locals gasping. Sleeping was difficult with a fan that was fixed in position - for comfort it would be great to be able to direct it on the bed. The pool saved me! But apart from hot nights a lovely place and the staff took really good care of me. Recommended any time it's not stinking hot!

We stayed in an airconditioned ensuite room which was a godsend as it was incredibly hot throughout our 9 night stay. Although the room was budget priced it included a lovely fresh tropical breakfast daily, The staff were very friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough to assist us with taxis, organising a hire car etc. Room serviced daily. The ladies who made breakfast and cleaned the rooms were just so lovely

The property is clean and well kept. The problem with the room was the little holes in the ceiling above. Tiny black sandy stuff dropped into my hair and ears and into my bed sheets and pillows every morning when I wake up. Please check Room 11. Otherwise …. I like the hotel very much. Thank you 🙏
